Palko points to this breakdown of a junk news story. The fake-survey-to-headline pipeline reminds me of a credulous Wall Street Journal story from a few years back. But, yeah, with respected news sources repeatedly falling for ridiculous scams like the hyperloop or the idea that UFOs are space aliens or mind-body healing etc etc etc., I guess we shouldn’t be shocked that they will uncritically report on a junk survey. It’s that insatiable need for fresh content.
